The Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark rivalry emerges as the top storyline for the WNBA's 2025 rookie class, examining whether Paige might actually be the better player despite entering the league later.

• High school history shows Paige was ranked #1 while Caitlin wasn't even in the top 3 in their class
• Paige won college Player of the Year as a freshman but injuries affected her draft position
• Different team situations may affect their rookie performances - Caitlin had the green light while Paige may need to defer to stars like Arike Ogunbowale
• Public perception differs between the two stars with Caitlin as the "WNBA's darling" while Paige connects differently with fans
• The rivalry will likely define women's basketball for the next 5-10 years, including 2028 Olympic competitions
• Later-season matchups between their teams will provide the best comparison after both have adjusted to professional play
